WHO IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD?  JESUS OR HIS FOLLOWERS?

Matthew 5:14. (Jesus speaking) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. (KJV) John 9:5. (Jesus speaking) As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Both are true.  Jesus is the light of the world, and Jesus' followers are the body of Christ.  Not a contradiction.
